How Mesa Plumbing Can Assist with Preparing Your Home for the Summer
As summer approaches in Arizona, ensuring your home’s plumbing system is in top shape is essential. The extreme heat and increased water usage can put a strain on your pipes, water heater, and other plumbing components. Mesa Plumbing is here to help homeowners prepare their plumbing systems for the intense summer months, preventing costly repairs and ensuring smooth operation. Here’s how our expert services can keep your home ready for the season.
Inspecting and Maintaining Your Water Heater
Arizona’s hot summer temperatures may lead many homeowners to overlook their water heater, but this appliance still works hard year-round. Proper maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity:
-
Flushing the Tank: Over time, sediment buildup can reduce your water heater’s efficiency. We flush the tank to remove mineral deposits that can cause overheating and damage.
-
Checking for Leaks: Small leaks can lead to larger issues if left unattended. We inspect all connections and fittings to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
-
Testing the Pressure Relief Valve: This safety feature helps prevent excessive pressure buildup. We ensure it’s functioning correctly to protect your system.
Ensuring Optimal Performance of Your Water Filtration System
Arizona’s water supply is often hard and mineral-rich, which can lead to buildup in pipes and appliances. To ensure clean, soft water throughout your home, we:
-
Inspect and Replace Filters: Filters in whole-house filtration systems and reverse osmosis units should be replaced regularly to maintain water quality.
-
Check for Scale Buildup: Hard water can lead to limescale accumulation. We assess and recommend descaling solutions to prolong the lifespan of your plumbing fixtures.
-
Examine Water Pressure Levels: Inconsistent water pressure may indicate blockages in your filtration system that need to be addressed.
Checking for Pipe Leaks and Weaknesses
The high summer temperatures can cause pipes to expand and contract, potentially leading to leaks. Our team will:
-
Conduct a Whole-House Leak Inspection: We use advanced detection methods to locate hidden leaks before they cause major damage.
-
Inspect Outdoor and Irrigation Systems: Outdoor plumbing is especially vulnerable to heat-related issues. We ensure all hoses, sprinkler systems, and irrigation lines are free from leaks and functioning properly.
-
Seal and Insulate Pipes Where Needed: Exposed pipes may require additional insulation to prevent cracking and damage.
Testing and Servicing Your Sewer and Drain System
With increased water usage during summer, your drains and sewer lines must function efficiently. Mesa Plumbing provides preventive maintenance to avoid costly backups:
-
Clearing Clogged Drains: We remove buildup from kitchen and bathroom drains to prevent slow drainage and unpleasant odors.
-
Inspecting Sewer Lines: Tree roots and debris can obstruct sewer lines. We use video inspection technology to identify potential issues before they escalate.
-
Treating for Root Intrusion: If tree roots have infiltrated your sewer lines, we offer solutions such as hydro jetting and root barriers to prevent further damage.
Maintaining Your Outdoor Plumbing Features
Summer means more outdoor activities and increased use of outdoor plumbing. We help homeowners prepare by:
-
Checking Hose Bibs and Outdoor Faucets: Leaky outdoor faucets waste water and increase your utility bills. We inspect and repair any issues.
-
Servicing Sprinkler Systems: A properly functioning irrigation system ensures efficient water use during the hot months.
-
Cleaning and Inspecting Pool Plumbing: If you have a pool, we ensure that its plumbing and filtration systems are working optimally to maintain water quality and efficiency.
Preventing Slab Leaks and Foundation Damage
Heat and soil expansion can cause foundation shifts, potentially leading to slab leaks. We safeguard your home by:
-
Detecting Underground Leaks: Using state-of-the-art leak detection technology, we identify hidden leaks before they cause structural damage.
-
Recommending Proactive Repairs: Addressing minor plumbing issues early can prevent costly foundation repairs.
-
Installing Pressure Regulators: Fluctuating water pressure can strain your pipes. We ensure your home’s plumbing system operates at a safe, consistent pressure level.

-
